nexttothemoon: Sometimes yes...but strangely enough...just before this question came up I was thinking about how it would be interesting to see a lot of the geeks here that have contributed so much content but all we see are their names and avatars...never putting a face to all these conversations. A bit spooky that this question comes up immediately after I had that thought.
